CVE-2026-54567: Flask-Reuploaded: Extension-denylist bypass via case-folding asymmetry in name-override path (incomplete-fix variant of CVE-2026-27641)
UploadSet.save(storage, name=...) lets the caller override the stored filename. After the CVE-2026-27641 fix, name is sanitized with secure_filename() and its extension re-validated. Because the re-validation compares a case-preserving extension against a policy whose denied tokens are lowercase, an attacker controlling name stores a file with a denied extension by varying case (shell.PHP, evil.pHp). On servers that resolve/execute extensions case-insensitively (Windows/macOS filesystems; Apache AddHandler/AddType), this re-enables the dangerous-upload → code-execution outcome the parent CVE addressed. The bypassed config is the one the library’s own docs recommend for blocking scripts (see §6).
